I like staying at LBTS where you are right on the beach and it is such a nice section of town.

I have dove with the American Dream II on several trips for a day.

There are lots of places to stay depending on what you want to be near.

West Palm beach has good diving. Lots of turtles. Shallower vs. Jupiter.

Boynton Beach is one of my favorite sites with some of the best diving off the mainland. I dive with Kevin at Underwater Explorers. His 6pack holds much more than six so roomy and comfortable!

Jupiter is some great diving. I notice Jupiter dive center requires AOW so I listed a couple good dive ops up there.

Diving is great from Jupiter to The Keys. I would consider spending a couple days in Largo.

This is a cheap place to stay $55 a night in Tavernier, FL Keys. Our experience has been good but the place is definitely dated.

Have a great time. Keep an eye on the weather....

Blue Heron is a must do, if you can get the tides to work in your schedule.

I presume this means high tide? If so, sweet! My only free morning is the morning with high tide at 8:44am

That is a nice time. Plan to be in the water about an hour/latest 30 mins before high tide. Prepare to be overwhelmed!
Hit Force E in Riviera Beach to get a good dive plan worked out.
Usually something like, swim out into sand, wander around....then hit west or east span (hard to do both in one dive).
SLOW down - lots of little critters.
Pay close attention to buoyancy.
Enjoy!!!

Hi Cudabait. I'm John the diver who sat next to you on the boat in Jupiter. I had problems with my tank and reg. It was a pleasure meeting you and Ann. Next time you come back to West Palm area be sure to let me know!!
